Bought some aftermarket interior door handlels for my Colorado that are fastened with set screws. The problem is after several uses the set screws begin to strip the door release shaft allowing the handle to turn free of the shaft.Thought about drilling a hole in the shaft for the set screw to sit in, but can not see where a drill would squeeze in cloce enough to drill the hole. Any ideas. Thanks

  One can only hope that they will correct or have already corrected the issue.

  This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

  Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

  Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

  As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.
